A survey of 1,075 people by retailmenot.com found that cash, checks and gift cards remain popular choices, cited as preferred by half the respondents. On average, respondents say $165 is an appropriate cash gift for high-school graduates, while $464 is good for someone earning a bachelor's degree. If your friend or relative just attained a graduate degree, plan on shelling out about $772. Those figures are averages, not round numbers.
Cash is among the most popular gifts for recent graduates. Graduations aren't just major life achievements; for some graduates, they're also a gift-receiving bonanza. The Global Association for Marketing at Retail reports that graduation gifts will tally $4.7 billion for 2012.f you're strapped for cash, aim for a smaller, token amount. If, however, you have plenty of money, it's important to note that a very small gift -- such as one under 25 dollars -- might be viewed as miserly, particularly if you buy expensive things for yourself.
